  • Page 185 Drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 usually work with both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Consequently, many vendors will label a driver as Windows 2000 or XP when the driver conforms to the NT 4.0 driver specification. Since there is no unique XP driver specification, drivers labeled by a printer vendor for XP will always appear as either NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 drivers.
  • Page 186 3. What happens if the PSA experiences an unplanned power interruption? After a power outage the PSA will automatically recover and rebuild its settings as necessary. To reduce the chance of data loss, the PSA can be connected to a UPS. (See the questions regarding below.)
